    Glide Ratio and External Video

    With this idea you don't need the circle since if you were flying over flat terrain the "irregular" shape would wind up being a circle anyways. Also, glide distance on a particular heading, depends on winds aloft. Since the SKYVIEW system is calculating the winds aloft, the "irregular" shape...

    Carbon Fiber and Avionics

    OK so maybe I oversimplified by saying "treat it like aluminum". I meant that for RF penetration characteristics not for electrical current characteristics . It blocks RF propagation, similar to an aluminum airframe, hence antennas have to be on the outside of the airframe. Carbon fiber does not...

    Glide Ratio and External Video

    1 - How about a glide ratio amount you can display on the PFD, Map or EMS page. Feet descended versus GPS distance traveled. Would be a great help during an engine out situation. Garmin x96 units have had this capability. 2 - Display VGA, or similar, digital video on the Skyview screen from an...

    Proprietary IFR GPS?

    Sorry to tell you there are not very many options out there for a "box" that can let you legally file and fly /G. Of those available the Garmin units (430W / 650) are probably the best. Which one you purchase depends on what you think is best for you. 8-)

    Carbon Fiber and Avionics

    RF frequencies can't, for the most part, penetrate carbon fiber construction very well just like it can't penetrate aluminum. RF antennas must be on the outside of a carbon fiber fuselage not on the inside like you can with a fiberglass airplane. A rule of thumb for RF issues, treat carbon fiber...

    Autopilot on ILS - Dynon?

    I am not sure if you can do that with the DYNON system. On some systems you can select one source for the HSI and another source for the autopilot.  An autopilot does exactly what you tell it, not what you want it to do. Remember the old term "garbage in, garbage out". Like other have said this...

    Proprietary IFR GPS?

    Ok, what about a C145 device to act just as the position source for ADSB or does that require a C146 device also? 8-)

    Cross check attitude

    I see this once in a while when I start the system, I haven't moved and the GPS hasn't had time to get a good signal lock. Once I start moving or the GPS gets a lock, it goes away and everything works fine. 8-)

    Garmin Flight Plan Crossfeed

    If it works with the most common Garmin units (G430/530, x96, AERA and the new GTNs) it will be an excellent start for a great feature. 8-)

    Garmin Flight Plan Crossfeed

    I don't know if this has been suggested before but how about having the Skyview accept flight plan cross-feed from a Garmin product. So if you enter a flight plan into the Garmin, it feeds it into the Skyview system. No need to enter the flight plan in to the Garmin and then into the Skyview. 8-)

    Oops, missed the DIRECT source on the screen shot of the transponder GPS data source. 8-)

    Skyview 5.1 pgrade

    What Xponder GPS input setting did you have before this? It looks like you have 2 issues. 1- You need to connect the G696 to the transponder. It doesn't look like it is. 2- You need to change the GPS data in from "Garmin ADSB" to "Aviation" and verify your G696 is set to "Aviation" out. This...

    Transponder 1.21K Resistor

    Do you absolutely need to have the 1.2K resistor? What can happen if it isn't there? Also, on another post I commented how using ADS-B format with a Garmin 430W/530W won't work on the Skyview system even with the latest Garmin software version. You have to use the Aviation Data format for it to...

    Skysport Capacitive sender

    I have an older probe so would I connect the yellow wire to the resistive input of the EMS? 8-)

    Caution warnings

    If you have self clearing alerts, one or more of them might be activating then clearing very quickly. When this happens the audio will alert but the visual clears before you react. Check which alerts you have as self clearing and set these to latching. This way the problem alert will stay on the...

    Skysport Capacitive sender

    If you have a Skysport (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pdf/2013Individual/Cat13494.pdf) Capacitive Sender do you need a capacitive to resistive converter to display the fuel level via the EMS? 8-)
